Here at Love A Child we have 85 children. At least 60% of these children came to us because their mothers died during or after childbirth. Many of them were malnourished; some had Kwashiorkor and some had Marasmus Malnutrition. Both of these are very serious, but as in the case of our Jasson (Jackson), Kwashiorkor is the...
"When Bad Things Happen to Good People." I love the stories of the Old Testament, there is so much to learn from them. The story of Joseph is one of my favorites, but to tell you the truth, I have always been angry with Joseph’s brothers, who were full of jealousy. (Genesis 37) Joseph’s father,...
I have never met two people with more Faith in God than Madamn Alcin and her son Djonsly. At the age of 13, he was brought to our Love A Child Clinic by his mother, with his eyeball hanging out of its socket. She had gone to many doctors, but he was always turned away......
We had planned on Sunday to have Jesse, Kim, and Evie Ostrander land in Santo Domingo and drive into Haiti. It's safe this way with no problems. We have been preparing to have a large Mobile Medical Clinic in the mountain interior next week. Due to the wave of the omicron Covid virus hitting Haiti,...
The God of “More Than Enough To Get By!” I marvel at the greatness of the God that we serve… From the Old Testament to the New Testament, He would always do “more than enough.” When Moses led the children of Israel (estimated millions) through the desert for 40 years, God fed them with manna...

These are three-bedroom homes with a living room, kitchen, and porch. They are built very strong for the next earthquake or hurricane....
Sometimes the Love A Child team must travel several hours to get to those in most need of assistance, however, Blanket is a village just twenty minutes from their Children’s Home that is full of families desperately seeking help. Mothers recount their experiences of abandonment and abuse; your heart will be touched when you hear...
“What to do when I’m afraid…” Ever been afraid? The Bible says, “fear hath torment.” (1 John 4:18) All of us have faced fear at one time or another… going to the dentist… getting the “report” from the doctor… fear of spiders, rats, insects, loud noises, storms, fear of the future, etc. We have faced many...
Rebecca was about three when someone was going to sell her to a man as a “restavek slave child.” Our Director, Nelio, heard about this and immediately made arrangements to bring her to our Orphanage. (I never asked Nelio what he did - all I cared about was getting a three-year-old away from that man!)...
